Tonight we're having grilled loin lamb chops. This morning, I set them to marinade in our favorite mixture... You can't beat the aroma of fresh-picked rosemary!2 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped1 Tbsp dried rosemary, crumbled1 tsp salt (I used sea salt)Fresh ground black pepper to taste4 cloves garlic, minced1/3 cup EVOO5 or 6 small loin lamb chops - about 1 inch thickMash the first 5 ingredients in a shallow dish with a forsk then stir in the oil. Add the lamb, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate until you're ready to grill. Then cook on a preheated grill according to your taste.You might wonder why I used fresh and dry rosemary... The fresh adds great flavor to the meat while it marinates, but it doesn't stand up to the heat of the grill. The dried can withstand the heat a bit mroe so you get the flavor from both!
